Moving days can start early and can be very hectic. Now that
we are in the winter months, daylight is limited and the weather conditions can
be unpredictable. Throw in some crazy Georgia traffic and it’s a
veritable moving can of worms!

With so many things to keep in mind, it can be easy to
forget some essential items. And nothing can be more frustrating that going into
your first night at your new house without the items we so often take for
granted.

This is why Peachtree Movers recommends putting together an
“Essentials Box” a few days prior to moving. This way you are prepared in
advance and don’t have to worry about getting things together at the last
minute.

Just remember to pack it in your car prior to leaving for
your new place!

Items to include:

Toiletries

It’s always helpful to have a few rolls of toilet paper,
dish soap, and a dish towel on hand. It will save you the hassle of needing to
make a run to the drug store during the day. Sounds silly but be sure to grab the toothpaste and tooth brushes. These types of items can be a great way to feel settled on your
first night.

Beverages and snacks

Pack healthy snacks, as well as bottled water and instant
coffee. A few packed sandwiches will make for a healthy and substantial lunch.
Also don’t forget to include plates and cutlery if you’re planning on eating
anything substantial.

Tools

A flashlight and a portable tool kit can go a long way in
making your move an easy one. Some candles and a box of matches will also be
helpful in the case of a power outage or if the electrical is not yet set up. A
box cutter will help you open your sealed boxes, which there will be plenty!

Clothing

Pack a change of clothes for all family members. Especially
if the weather is cold and rainy, you will want to have something warm and dry
to put on as you settle into your new place. Bring a set of pajamas, after a
long day of moving you will want to be comfortable!

Important records

Put passports, birth certificates, and other sensitive
information and records in a plastic bag and keep them on hand.
Knowing where they are during the move provides strong peace of mind. Also this
way, if you need to access any of this information on the day of the move it is
easily accessible.

We wish you the best of luck in your move, and remember to

Maybe it’s time to move to a bigger home – that small one
just won’t do. Maybe you need to move
from one part of Atlanta to another part of Atlanta. Or perhaps you need to get
out of that apartment and into a real house. Do you want to be closer to work,
a certain town or neighborhood, or family and friends? Whatever your reason is,
Peachtree Movers are here to make your move a stress free one.

To speed up the time that it takes Peachtree movers to
complete your move, here are a few things that you can do before we arrive:

If it fits in a box, put it in a box.

For the safety of all of us keep pets and children out of
the work areas.

Reserve the elevator at both locations.

Reserve the parking closest to your place at the starting
location and ending location.

To speed up your move download our moving labels and use
them to mark the destination for each box.

After a long day of moving, unpacking may be the last thing
you want to do, and that’s fair enough. While you don’t want to wait too long
to settle in, don’t feel guilty about wanting to take some time to unwind. Time
to reward yourself for a move well done! Here are some ideas if you aren’t sure
what to do:

Order in

You’re tired, and don’t want to go out. But you can’t
imagine having the energy to cook, either. Treat yourself, and order in! Dinner
is delivered right to your door and you can take a nap on the couch, lie down
with a book or, if you’re so inclined, start unpacking a few things.

Game night

If you’ve got access to board games or card games, clear a
space on the floor (or at the table, if it’s set up) and unwind for a few
hours.

Movie night

This is an easy one, pull out your laptop or tablet and put
on your favorite film—no need to unpack the entire DVD collection or set up the
TV. Laptop too small? Hit the theater and see something on the big screen.

Dinner Out

Moving builds quite an appetite and unpacking your kitchen
supplies may be the last thing you want to do, so step out for a few hours and
relax at a nearby restaurant.

Hit the Town

Is there a sporting event or theater performance taking
place that night? Your house is full of boxes, so a great reward could mean
going out to watch a game, concert, or whatever else you still have energy for.

Good news! The hardest part is over. You've packed up your
entire house and had it delivered to your new place. But after the Peachtree moving truck leaves, you’re left with a LOT of boxes and furniture out of place. So
what do you do first? Peachtree Movers can help!

1. Change Your Locks.
You want your new place to be safe and secure—so, start with the locks. If the
previous residents or owners did not change the locks, make sure to do this
first. And if the garage has a code, don’t forget to reset that, too! You can
rest easier knowing that no one has the keys to your new place except you.

2. Next up, unpack
the important boxes first. Unpacking every room of your house will take a bit of
your time, (maybe a month or so!) so make sure that you start with the most
important rooms first—namely, the kitchen, bathroom(s) and the bedroom
essentials. That way, you have everything you absolutely need ready to go while
you take time to unpack everything else.

3. Can’t make dinner
with the utilities in place. Test out your internet, electric, heat, etc. to
make sure that everything is ready to go.

4. Don’t forget to
register your car if you've moved states. Taking care of this ASAP will help
you avoid hassles later down the road.

5. Enjoy your new
home!

PEACHTREE MOVERS UPDATE

Atlanta. It has been Georgia's capital since 1869 and the home of Peachtree Movers since 1976. It's also the home to Georgia Tech, Georgia State University and the Falcons. This time of the year, when the air is a little crisper, on a weekend afternoon, you are bound to see thousands of tailgaters near the Georgia Dome or Bobby Dowd Stadium, both just quick strolls from the Capitol Building.

Whether you live or work in the city limits of the state capital or in one of the many vibrant suburbs of Atlanta, let our experienced team assist you with all of your moving, packing and storage needs. For a free estimate, call us at (404) 355-8877 or visit our website at www.peachtreemovers.com and complete the quote request form on the main page.

GEORGIA STATE CAPITAL AND STATE CAPITOL FACTS

Since Georgia became a state in 1776, a total of five cities have served as state capitals. Before Atlanta permanently became the capital in 1869, Savannah, Augusta, Louisville (about 50 miles SW of Augusta) and Milledgeville (about 30 miles NE of Macon) also served as capitals of the Peach State at various times.

Construction of the State Capitol Building began in 1884 and was completed on the 4th of July in 1889. Other than the limestone, which came from Indiana, all other materials used to build it came from Georgia: marble, wood, cast iron, and of course, the gold that makes up the dome. (Yes, that's real gold!)
